Where its in the ground, treat even tanalised rs/softwood in old engine oil, the black stuff. It soaks it up - especially dried wood like you have done and makes it last years longer. Try it, you might like it! Top video.....
This is going to add so much enjoyment for your wife and you. I think that you did an excellent building and explaining the steps. I'm looking forward to the video where you complete the build. Thanks for the video.

Looks great especially with the opal poly, watched a few videos but decided to go with yours as we like the modern look, I'm also going with the opal roof
You did great guys. Something you can stand back and look at and say, "yes. We did that". I'm getting ready to put up a frame. I kayed my patio out with 2x2x2 rock shape molds, 8x16. Now the frame and roof.
With the fascination on UA-cam with cats you should possibly rename the channel "Dylan and Keith do woodworking" 😁. Great looking pergola which will be glorious to sit under with a cold beer in the summer.
Enjoyed this one Keith. Can't believe it's already more then a year ago that I built mine. I like what you did with the end joist hanger. I see you put joist hangers at the front too. I was gonna do that but didn't like the gap at the bottom. I remember actually laying my rafters on the ground with the glazing bars & then laying the sheets on to work out the exact spacing taking into account expansion gaps. I always prefer using the actual sheets rather then relying on what the measurements should be. Interested to hear what you would do different.
Cheers Dave, your build partly inspired me to have a go. Gid's recent pergola was an inspiration too 👍 I'll talk more about the spacings in the next episode, but I didn't have the sheets so had to make some guesses about spacings. It all came good, fortunately!
Thanks for the video it will help me load with my summer pergola project this year. Btw I loved it when your cat yawned (4:38) during your sponsor section :) you couldn't script it if you tried. Keep up the good work!.
im a carpenter by trade and i build a pergola for my house recently. I spent 700aud in timber although i had 3 posts and a privacy screen down the front, it took me 7 days labour(which a quick and dirty estimate here would by 500aud a day) although that included painting(it rained and the painting was 3-4 days). I didnt have to do any concrete work but thats where the uncertainty would be in this job so you would see a mark up for that if you paid somebody to do this, lucky for yours it seemed quite straight forward. Overall i think your costing is quite accurate, great job!
Beautiful pergola and very much enjoying your improvements to the house and shop. I appreciate and respect how you show your errors and solutions. I also like how you use the materials and tools you have versus ideal conditions. I am no carpenter but here in Canada (BC) the galvanized nails are eaten away by the preservative in pressure treated wood. (I think) We use coated deck screws with pressure treated wood.
Hi Keith looks great. Like the painted effect. For ascetics I would consider putting additional supports that you put on the front. The 45% supports on the sides as well. You also need to seal the wall plate so that water doesn't get behind it.
@@RagnBoneBrown TBH I would have either fitted the wall plate so it's not touching the wall (using spacers) or sealed it straight away. From your comment I assume you will be installing a version of flashing to carry the water away.
Battery saw at the lumberyard - a great convenience! I’ve also started using glazer’s packers (flat shims) on top of temporary supports to get beams level before fixing. Your concerns about trapped water at the post bases is valid. I put in some posts using the type of base that you have. They were mounted on/in slightly raised concrete piers to allow drainage. And as you demonstrated you could probably use the pergola as the base for a balcony.
In Estonia (where we have long winters and it's raining a lot) we use either tar paper or birch bark in between wood and stone. It's been done like that for 1000's of years. This permits the the wood to dry and doesn't allow the moisture to creap upwards from the concrete. And of course, you need the drainage.
Hi Dylan another great upload. You’re looking in fantastic shape for a senior feline. Can’t wait for your next upload. Ps. That Keith lad that lives with you seems pretty good at building pergolas.
Looks good, but a pergola is definitely an opportunity to show off form over function and have a bit of fun. I went for routed shapes on each rafter and wooden plugs hiding carriage bolts.
I prefer to build without hangers by resting the joists on the main beam. So then I use a notch to keep the rafters in place, much stronger than relying on screws and hangers for support. It's also less work as well.
I’m so wanting to do this for myself, but I’m also very nervous of messing it up. But thank you for sharing really enjoying watching you have given me something to think about. Xx
This was a really great video. All these projects... Your home must be spectacular!! 2:46 you do look like you are slow dancing with the pole (or gently humping it!! 🤣🤣). Sorry, couldn't resist.
I saw someone use epoxy for sealing ends of wood legs. I think that’d seal the pergola legs too. You were smart to drill out the drain. Uk weather can get pretty wet.
You only need 1 straight edge, the hole saw holes and track on the other side isn't needed. It also blocks your view of cut. It also means you cant saw full length and finish off the cut because of the metal bracket at the end.
If you've only come here for Dylan skip to: 04:17; 10:29 (Dylan hurtles towards the camera); 11:17 (Dylan needs a rest after all that running); 12:55 & 13:11.
I have not even watched this video but just seeing the opening shot I suggest you look at what a pergola is. What you have produced is a structure for a light roof !!
I had to cut half lap joints at the top of a post exactly the same but the post was concreted in so I had to do it up a ladder. That was pretty hair raising!
You should have put pierce od brick slightly smaller then gap in post holder for space for dreinge and to dry out and let post rest on, it is solid, wouldn't settle over time and wood would be "in the air". But pergola look great!
what sizes did you use at which points? meaning you mentioned that 4x2 is the wall plate but did not mention the rafters! are they the 6x2 you purchased? and ofcourse the legs are 4x4. thanks, i need to build one in a few months and this video hits the spot.
Really helpful video! I’m doing something really similar, but was wondering when it comes to attaching the rafters, do you have to use hangers? I had it in my mind that I’d attach a beam to the wall as you did but then notch out the rafters and screw them down on top of that beam, then on the other end where they attach to the frame to notch out ‘bird mouths’ and do the same? Also I’m thinking of doing my entire frame and rafters in 100x100mm beams for a chunky country look, would you recommend leaving the wood to dry as you did? What’s the benefit to doing that vs building the frame before the wood has completely dried, and letting it dry once built and in place?
"I don't know if this is how the pros do it but it worked for me!" Are you kidding me? What do you call yourself then :) Thanks for the detailed video!
Hello, excellent work! I am worried that the ledge board may fall when we randomly fasten it to the brick wall without anchoring it to the studs. Is my thought a concern?
Hi keith big fan of your channel and love your videos and myself am a fellow woodworker and just wanted to ask have you ever made a bench seat or similar from old solid doors,I have seen similar guys on UA-cam do it but as I'm a fan of your channel I was just wandering how you would do it yourself just as more interesting content and would be nice to see your version of building one, thanks for your time and keep up the channel take care kindest regards tezzy
Hi, what a great work, it will inspire me for my own pergola building for sure. Could you please give me the reference of the wall anchors you're using at 05:41 ?
In England if the structure is *attached* to the house you need to get building regulation clearance from the local Council. That means submitting plans and paying a fee! If it's free-standing your OK. but there may still be height and area limitations.
Not sure where you got that information from but I'm fairly certain that's not true, not for a pergola anyway. There are height limitations and planning may be needed for building at the front or sides of the property
I built a garden gate with treated timber and painted it light blue with 'Cuprinol Garden Shades'. I was disappointed to see that the green wood treatment stuff bled through the paint, staining it. I don't think you'll have that problem with the dark grey but was wondering if you know of anyway to seal the wood before painting to stop this occurring. I think the joist hangers were a bit over kill, I reckon you could have fixed the timber with notches or extra strips of wood. Anyway, it all looks great, shame about the weather!
Nice job on the proper use of joist hangers! Those holes are not for picking and choosing... a nail belongs in EVERY hole! Kudos!
Where its in the ground, treat even tanalised rs/softwood in old engine oil, the black stuff. It soaks it up - especially dried wood like you have done and makes it last years longer. Try it, you might like it! Top video.....
It looks so great! And it’s always a joy to see Dylan living his best life.
Thanks Trish 😊

Dont forget the ZeboZAP
Great tip wit the post holder drainage holes
Loved the dylan b roll. Pergola looks good so far, it will be great with your attention for detail. looking forward the second part!
Thanks so much Pablo
This is just what I needed! Thank you for the idea. Once the weather gets better I’ll definitely be doing this in my garden. May get some plastic for the sides too so can stick my washing on the lines and they will be covered if it’s not so nice out lol 😂
It was a great idea to use the timber leaning against the wall to act as a platform. I'm going to remember that trick. Thanks for the great content.

Whats the angle ruler you're using called?
What is amazon link for vent tape used on edges of polycarbonate panels?
Hi Keith, looks great. Some bituminous paint on the bottom of the posts would have been my choice to help reduce rot.
Red oxide first
Nice build, and I love picking up your British jargon. In the states we call PAR “S4S” - surface 4 sides.
I'd recommend a small seat cut on the bottoms of those rafters to get them to seat fully in the hangers, 👍🔨🇮🇪
Looks great especially with the opal poly, watched a few videos but decided to go with yours as we like the modern look, I'm also going with the opal roof
You did great guys. Something you can stand back and look at and say, "yes. We did that".

Get a tv inside with ZeboZAP! Literally took me 10 minutes. It straps on like a bra.

Mr. Dylan is a ⭐! Great build!
Interesting job, marvellous amount of Dylan, great video. Thank you!
Thanks Keith i picked up a few tips from this vid. Always good to see Dylan.
Great build Keith it looks really solid and looks nice as well.
Stay Safe,
Barry (Wirral)

Whats the measurements on the pieces you cut at 45 degree ángle at the end on the posts
I love this. It gives me ideas for my own home

Just what i need although i have a few obstacles to work around like a chimney breast and small shed.
Hi Dylan another great upload. You’re looking in fantastic shape for a senior feline. Can’t wait for your next upload.
Ps. That Keith lad that lives with you seems pretty good at building pergolas.
Very professional job Keith. I like the reformed joist hangers, great idea. It's very rigid. Tony
Dylan the Supervisor. Entertainment area is taking shape nicely.
Looks good, but a pergola is definitely an opportunity to show off form over function and have a bit of fun. I went for routed shapes on each rafter and wooden plugs hiding carriage bolts.
You seem like you know what you're talking about, hopefully willing to also guide me on making my own, my garden patio isn't as big as OP
My style of building! Good attention to detail and lots of overthinking everything!👍
Ironically I'm mid way through building a gazebo, really enjoyed this video. Keep up the great work Keith!!
I prefer to build without hangers by resting the joists on the main beam. So then I use a notch to keep the rafters in place, much stronger than relying on screws and hangers for support. It's also less work as well.
I’m so wanting to do this for myself, but I’m also very nervous of messing it up. But thank you for sharing really enjoying watching you have given me something to think about. Xx
Have a go. If you make a mistake along the way just do that bit again. Keep the extra wood for another project :)
This was a really great video. All these projects... Your home must be spectacular!! 2:46 you do look like you are slow dancing with the pole (or gently humping it!! 🤣🤣). Sorry, couldn't resist.
I'm about to build one just like that, very similar way. This video saved me the guess work. Thanks
Nice to watch a video where you don't show everything going perfectly like other videos I watch.. real world stuff well done
Well done! love the choice of colour!!
Great video Keith
I saw someone use epoxy for sealing ends of wood legs. I think that’d seal the pergola legs too. You were smart to drill out the drain. Uk weather can get pretty wet.
Yeah that was probably the wood whisperer. From what I've heard, it's best to let the wood breathe, get wet and dry out naturally
Wow I like it Keith. Something I wouldn’t mind doing one day if I get an opportunity. Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers
It's really nice, please. I Want to see complete. Pagola
Thanks
Nice job. Much more thorough in design than I'm planning for my pergola ;-)
Great tips all the way through, thanks!!
Do you have. A list of the wood ,sizes and amounts you used please ?????
Looks great, I really like the colour, much prefer it to the bare wood look
Thankyou!! You’ve solved our problems today!
You only need 1 straight edge, the hole saw holes and track on the other side isn't needed. It also blocks your view of cut.
It also means you cant saw full length and finish off the cut because of the metal bracket at the end.
If you've only come here for Dylan skip to: 04:17; 10:29 (Dylan hurtles towards the camera); 11:17 (Dylan needs a rest after all that running); 12:55 & 13:11.
I like that this isn't perfect because we can learn about the things we need to watch out for
I have not even watched this video but just seeing the opening shot I suggest you look at what a pergola is. What you have produced is a structure for a light roof !!
That's because it is, as explained in the video that you haven't watched
it looks so great!my pergola is also great!
Proper job as always Keith, love the colour 👌
Great to see Dylan featuring in your video. Oh yeah, and the pagoda looks OK too! 😂
Load tied to your windshield wiper is probably the most insane thing I have seen today
Enlarge it slightly and add some suitable roofing materials = lovely carport! That's what me and the Mrs. did last year.
I had to cut half lap joints at the top of a post exactly the same but the post was concreted in so I had to do it up a ladder. That was pretty hair raising!
Oh yeah that sounds tricky
The only reason I didn't fast forward through your bit about Tradify is because I wanted to watch your kitty-cat. Well played sir.
Well done and well explained. Thank you,
Looks good. Great job. Tell me, did you happen to watch Gids videos of the summer house and pergola builds?
You should have put pierce od brick slightly smaller then gap in post holder for space for dreinge and to dry out and let post rest on, it is solid, wouldn't settle over time and wood would be "in the air". But pergola look great!
Another brilliant video , I love your videos and everything you make. Keep up the good work 👌
Thanks
Very nice! In America we call them 2x4's
Great video.
Great pergola and video!
Came for a pergala stayed for Dylan 😀 his a daddy’s boy like my cat it seems
Looks great Keith.
Thank you
It's looking good and solid
good job Keith
LOOKS GOOD
I'm absolutely shocking at things like this but to my wife's dismay I'm gonna give this a go in the summer. Great vid 👌
Good luck!
what sizes did you use at which points? meaning you mentioned that 4x2 is the wall plate but did not mention the rafters! are they the 6x2 you purchased? and ofcourse the legs are 4x4. thanks, i need to build one in a few months and this video hits the spot.
Hi, where did you buy the wall anchors to secure the wall plate?
Many thanks 👍🏽
Really helpful video! I’m doing something really similar, but was wondering when it comes to attaching the rafters, do you have to use hangers? I had it in my mind that I’d attach a beam to the wall as you did but then notch out the rafters and screw them down on top of that beam, then on the other end where they attach to the frame to notch out ‘bird mouths’ and do the same?

"I don't know if this is how the pros do it but it worked for me!"
Are you kidding me? What do you call yourself then :)
Thanks for the detailed video!
Hello, excellent work! I am worried that the ledge board may fall when we randomly fasten it to the brick wall without anchoring it to the studs. Is my thought a concern?
Great build, which paint did you use? looks very smart in black 😀
Hi keith big fan of your channel and love your videos and myself am a fellow woodworker and just wanted to ask have you ever made a bench seat or similar from old solid doors,I have seen similar guys on UA-cam do it but as I'm a fan of your channel I was just wandering how you would do it yourself just as more interesting content and would be nice to see your version of building one, thanks for your time and keep up the channel take care kindest regards tezzy

Hi, what a great work, it will inspire me for my own pergola building for sure.
Could you please give me the reference of the wall anchors you're using at 05:41 ?
I could do with this information too. What did you end up using?
great vid, just wondering what you think of 4x4 post holders for the pergola foundation. trying to avoid concrete if at all possible.
Nice, been thinking about that as a project.
That looks great.
Great woodworking aside, does anyone else hope that Dylan is going make an appearance when Keith drops a video?
I love this, thanks for the video
Do you have a video for what would you have done differently, Lesson learned?

Good job mate!
Good
Belle réalisation
Great job mate thank you.
Well done , nice job
The joints hangers spoil it. Notching into a bigger the wall plate would look better. What you going to do with it?
Which paint did you use? Did you need undercoat as well?
Nice one again mate 👍👍
In England if the structure is *attached* to the house you need to get building regulation clearance from the local Council.
That means submitting plans and paying a fee!
If it's free-standing your OK. but there may still be height and area limitations.
Not sure where you got that information from but I'm fairly certain that's not true, not for a pergola anyway. There are height limitations and planning may be needed for building at the front or sides of the property

A 'pergola' doesn't have a roof.
Check with your local Building Inspector.
Is your bench in the background @ 6:40 made of PVC pipe?
I built a garden gate with treated timber and painted it light blue with 'Cuprinol Garden Shades'. I was disappointed to see that the green wood treatment stuff bled through the paint, staining it. I don't think you'll have that problem with the dark grey but was wondering if you know of anyway to seal the wood before painting to stop this occurring.
I think the joist hangers were a bit over kill, I reckon you could have fixed the timber with notches or extra strips of wood. Anyway, it all looks great, shame about the weather!
Did you wait for the timber to dry out? If not that's probably why it bled through. Thanks
